Comfort, identity and fashion in the post-socialist city: Materialities, assemblages and context
Original language description
This paper works at the intersection of three bodies of writing: theories relating to fashion, identity and the city; debate relating to urban materialities, assemblages and context; and cultural interventions advancing the study of post-socialism. Drawing on empirical research undertaken in Bratislava, Slovakia, we unpack a blurring of public and private space expressed through clothing. In contrast to elsewhere in the city, in Petržalka, a high-rise housing estate from the socialist period, widely depicted as anonymous and hostile since 1989, residents are renowned for wearing comfortable? clothes in order to feel at home? in public space. We describe the relationship between fashion, identity and comfort as an everyday political? response to state socialism and later the emergence of consumer capitalism.
